Watch a Fake Russian Man Explode a Tree with Incendiary .50 Cal Ammo

Everyone loves FPSRussia. The accent; the acquired-out-of-nowhere high ordnance; the shooting and exploding. What’s not to like?

Is your surgeon a gamer? He probably should be.

For years, the US Department of Health and Human Services has distributed brochures like this one to people who are considering surgery. The packets are full of things you need to know and questions you should ask your surgeon before going under the knife.
